El Vitorioso D'Ecaussinnes at Venice in April. He was just imported in late March and so we started out in smaller classes. He will begin showing back up to the higher heights soon. This is a proven 1.30M to 1.45M jumper who is very straightforward and careful. Very reasonably priced for his quality. This one is special. We love him so much already.

So True!
I have to thank many people, first my father who instilled a level of order and cleanliness in how a stable should be, then and much later, Anne Kursinski who gave me my flat work, Michael Matz who gave me the opportunity to school Grand Prix horses and gave me experience schooling over bigger fences, then George Morris and Chris Kappler who helped me to develop as a young professional. So grateful, because without them I’d be nowhere. I am lucky to have such a “pedigree.”

Denny’s take on the Bernie meme.

Why the Bernie meme is so viral---

In 1957, my parents bought an abandoned farm in South Reading, Vermont. On one of the trail rides that had the most hills, I would ride out of the driveway, turn right, and head over toward Cavendish,

About two miles up the road, on the left, was a dairy farm, run by an old man with a beard, and his middle aged son, a typical Vermont hill farm of 65 years ago, lots of junk, unpainted house, beat up tractor, even more beat up pick up.

The two guys wore ragged clothes, knee high rubber boots, again, standard for the time and place. I would ride by and say hi, knowing, in that deep down certainty that you have when you are a kid, that these two were typical old yankees, like the stories were written about.

One day, and I don't know for what reason, I stopped to talk with the father, and somehow the city of Burlington got mentioned.

"Burlington," the old guy said---I got a son who lives up there."

"What does he do?" I asked.

"Teaches at the Medical School," he replied.

BAM---Every assumption that I had so totally bought into, gone in that instant. The Cavendish dairy farmer who I KNEW was about a fifth generation hill farmer had been the Treasurer of the Wanamaker chain of department stores in Philadelphia, got sick of it, and moved to Vermont to farm.

And had become "Vermont", in deed and appearance, just like Bernie, minus the Long Island accent.

Vermonters, both the actual ones and many of the transplants, are sort of holdovers from the 19th century. They could care less about impressing people with their clothes, their cars, their hair styles, their fashion sense--.

So when Bernie sits there in his parka and his wooolen mittens, when everyone else is dressed for success, something about that basic don't give a damn attitude hits some part of the American conscience that hasn't totally sold out to the glitz machine.

Anyway, that's how it strikes me---And I am not a Vermonter. I am from New Hampshire.

In 1976, when Tad Coffin won the Olympic gold medal in 3-day eventing at the Bromont, Quebec Olympics, he did it on Bally Cor, a horse which had been loaned to the USET.

Mike Plumb won the silver medal on Good Mixture, another horse loaned to the USET.

Bill Steinkraus had won his 1968 Olympic gold on Snowbound, another one owned by someone else but loaned to the USET.

Back in those days, rich sponsors supported the USET, and the coaches, like LeGoff and De Nemethy, could assign them to riders they felt had the skills to bring them on.

Today, that is all gone. Today rich parents buy some of the best horses for their own children. So, while it may possibly be that those children are better riders than everyone else, it is more likely that there are better riders sitting in the stands.

That ability to buy "elite equipment" is another strange reality of the world of horse competition at the highest levels. The best 100 yard dash runners, the best middleweight boxers, the best soccer players are on the fields of battle. You can't buy magic magic shoes to offset the greater talent of your competitors in those sports, the way you can purchase magic horses----

This is a big reason that there are those who say that riding sports don't belong in the Olympics---Hard to know---they do have a point---

One has a penchant for trucker hats and hoodies. The other, a stickler for classic attire. One is a man of few words; the other, of many. Verbose even. One tends to hide from the spotlight. The other shines in it. For 31 years, show jumper McLain Ward (USA) and his diametrical barn manager Lee Conti...

Training takes as long as it takes. Each horse is different, you can’t put green horses onto a set schedule or timeline, with a hard deadline.
